Don Shipley and Mary sent us a link to the Baltimore City Paper<\/a> story about Earl Littman<\/a> who claims to be a “World War II SEAL” and he’s trying to raise money for veterans with a 501(c)3 called “Back Our Vets<\/a>“. The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be much about Back Our Vets on the internet. ANd, oh, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, Littman wasn’t a SEAL, WWII-type or otherwise.<\/p>\n

I asked Littman to send information about his non-profit, starting with its incorporation papers. He emailed me a week later saying the state of Texas had not yet sent those papers to him. (He also asked which of three linked videos looked and sounded best. In them, he appears with the Seals-only Special Warfare insignia (AKA \u201cThe Trident\u201d) signifying his elite status. I picked the one in which he says:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in Team 1 of the original Navy Seals\u2026as a navy medic I experienced people falling down with wounds and some falling down forever.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I asked Littman for his military discharge records, and also got no reply. I emailed him notice that VeriSeal had found no record of his alleged Seal service either. I expect no reply to that either.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, his file isn’t available because the operations he participated in back in 1944 are still classified. The existence of the Enigma cipher machine was declassified in 1975, but Littman’s missions are still secret.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Mr. Littman did email back late last night:<\/p>\n

The only possible way that you or anyone else can check my service record is to see if the Pentagon will release confidential and secret information on the 100 members of the \u201csecret combat naked warriors\u201d during the period of 1942 through the end of 1945. Upon discharge we were sworn to never tell for the rest of our lives; \u201cwhat, when, where , why or how\u201d we performed our duties. It was suggested we not try to stay in touch with one another as we might talk about our missions which was taboo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, good luck with that, Earl.<\/p>\n
